Cooke: 'Demons was not good enough'

Christian Cooke has said that Demons was axed by ITV1 because "it wasn't good enough".

Speaking exclusively to DS, the 23-year-old, who played Luke Rutherford during the show's six-episode run, suggested that the ill-fated series did not have a clear audience.

Addressing February's axing, Cooke said: "It probably wasn't good enough, at the end of the day! And also, there are things like timing. Perhaps it was too scary for little kids but not scary enough for the cult audience. It's just luck of the draw sometimes."

The actor's new series, teen drama Trinity, begins Sunday at 10pm on ITV2.
